With the rover leaving tracks in a frozen world that would mean the dust would have to be at 0% moisture, same as foot-prints on the moon. I can understand mars having signs of wind and dust creating patterns using protruding rocks. Why doesn't the moon have markers like that or have any dust on top of the rocks there, they are all dustless in the photos I've seen.

Ahhhhh HAAAAA! The US walked on the moooooooon and you're still salty about it.

I think I heard somewhere that this is a ONE WAY TICKET! What happens if I don't like it there and want back? Anyone who goes along with a one way ticket is nuts!

I'd suggest they send some of these people down to the Scott Admudsen Base at the South Pole for a winter, to see the psychological effects that extreme isolation, climate, close quarters and cabin fever produces. I don't think you'd find a person whose done that who would volunteer to spend the rest of their lives there... for the good of science.

Just get them to live a week on the streets of the Gorbals whilst wearing Rangers shirts and see if they can finish it alive.

The South Pole is a doddle compared to that.
